Solvent Use Information – continued
Do you use any ROC-containing materials for solvent cleaning or other purposes in a manner not described above?
Solvent cleaning is the use of solvent to remove loosely held uncured adhesive, uncured ink, uncured coating, uncured resin, or other contaminants which include, but are not limited to, dirt, soil, lubricants, coolant, moisture, grease, and fingerprints from parts, products, tools, machinery, equipment, or general work areas.
Note that Rule 74.6.B.1 requires that ROC-containing material used for solvent cleaning other than the two categories listed above have an ROC content no greater than 25 grams per liter. Some exemptions to this requirement are contained in Rule 74.6.E.
